Assuming you have set scrub_nondigest to Yes, then the above should do
more or less what you say you want, but consider the message whose
structure you posted at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2013-June/075332.html>.
For this message, collapse_alternatives = Yes will keep only the
text/plain alternative from the multipart/alternative part and will
remove the multipart/related alternative together with its text/html and
image/jpeg sub-parts.

If this is what you want in this case, then your settings are good. On
the other hand, if in this case you want the image/jpeg part stored
aside and linked, then you might as well set filter_content to No and
not filter content at all.
